If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Hi, I’m back again and first of all I would like to apologise for not posting on here in a while. I’m glad I had Wayne to fill in for me and from the comments it seems like you all enjoyed the post he made so I look forward to having him back to write again. On to this weeks post…

Have you ever wondered why some people are so successful online and the rest of us are struggling to get going? Here are 7 habits that the successful marketers all adopt to keep their businesses in profit. If you want to know more about these habits then Matt Duggan and Ashley Wright have created a great course showing you exactly how to implement them in your day to day business.

Niche Awareness
Successful marketers find evergreen niches that will provide income on a regular basis not just for one or two weeks. They are also passionate problem solvers and genuinely enjoy helping people. Part of their niche awareness also involves constantly doing research on their niche and also finding new profitable areas to go into. This is a constant process that can be very time consuming so is often outsourced.

Consistency
The highly successful marketers out there are putting in regular effort to meet their goals. Not just having a day of work then a couple of weeks off, it has to be consistent effort on a daily basis. They also hold themselves accountable at every step, this is where it can also help to have someone that can hold you accountable.

Traffic Control
Successful marketers have a clear understanding of their traffic and how to leverage it. They know the different traffic types, how viral marketing works to generate traffic on autopilot. List building and joint ventures are always a massive focus for any successful marketer and Pay Per Click can reward huge revenues if it is properly understood. Pay Per Click can also be very expensive if you get it wrong.

Systems
As a successful marketer you must have your systems in place so you can focus on your strengths and keep things completely measurable through your whole business model. Systems are also in place to keep things straightforward, scalable and replicable at a low cost and with little of no downtime.

Outsourcing
One of the main things that sets the successful marketer apart from the unsuccessful one is outsourcing. Once a good outsourcing staff have been established the business can be scaled up easily and the staff become an investment and not an expense. This also allows you as a marketer to shift your focus on expanding your business rather than the day to day running of it. This is when you can really effectively use time management to keep things on target.

Relationship Building
Once the successful marketer has built a database of prospects the key thing to do is to build a relationship with them by connecting with them through emails. A lot of effort is spent on giving free value to the members of the database. This is where a personal touch comes in well so you can easily build rapport, you can also partner up with other database owners and share your products and information between your lists.

Mentoring
I don’t know of any successful marketer that has got there without some form of mentoring. It is important to find a mentor that you can model yourself after as you will be following their proven methods and if you don’t like your mentor then you are going to be less willing to listen to what they have to say. When you find your mentor, follow what they teach you and stick with it. It can take some time to see results but if you stick with it the results will come, as long as you found a good mentor that is!

Now you know these habits you can adopt them in to your marketing business to increase the profitability and success.

I met Matt at a Seminar in London and I have seen inside his product so I know that it will help you out. He is a genuine guy and has a great way of getting his points across in a clear and easy to understand manner.

You’re really connected with great friends. To be successful internet marketers, it’s vital to have most, if not all these traits. Also Thanks you for the timely webinar on lead generation. It’s exactly what i need now.

Great to see you back here. I have been working very hard over the past few weeks to build up my online connections offline. I now have a great group of friends and business partners in different sectors of online marketing so I should be able to achieve success in many different areas.

Thanks again or stopping by, I hope you enjoy the webinar tonight. It should be a really good one! I can’t believe they are putting this one on for free!!

You have covered some great points there. For me ‘outsourcing’ is a biggy at the moment. I’ve got to say that it’s hard to stay consistent with traffic generation when it’s just you running an online business, with everything to focus on as well.

I couldn’t agree more! I have been working hard on product creation for a while now and my traffic has started to drop off! I need to spend at least a day building everything back up again although I might end up just outsourcing a lot of that as for a little money I can drive a ton of traffic and have it recurring!

Great post as per usual, some great points you have covered here and yes outsourcing is something most of us have problems with. Perhaps the best possible solution initially is for people starting out in Internet Marketing is to team up together, and share their skills and knowledge.

good to see you back here. I have been sharing a lot of knowledge with my friends and we have been working together on some of our projects as well so I definitely advice to get a group around you that have slightly different skill-sets to you. This way you can all play to each others strengths. Once you are all up and running you then have the advantage of being able to pool your resources when it comes to researching and finding the best outsourcers for your businesses.

Great post and some great points. All traits that any internet marketer needs to have. I’m also one of those that has not quite been able to get to the “outsourcing” feature yet. Oh sure, I’ve hired a few people to do a few jobs for me but trust me, it wasn’t much money at all. For the most part, I believe I have been doing rather well in all areas of my business since it’s just me. Can’t wait until I can get to that place to hire others to help. But I’ve been learning a lot from visiting other people’s blogs and that’s really helped me tremendously.

It does seem to be a big trend that when starting out people struggle to find the right outsourcer to initially start expanding. I have been falling slightly behind since focusing on product development recently but I will be looking to outsource a major part of my day to day running of the business very soon. Building a network of people is so important in building your business up to what it can achieve. We all have our strengths and weaknesses and it is best to find people that have different strengths to us so we can start to eliminate weaknesses.

I couldn’t agree more, Matt has a great presentation style and the videos are really easy to follow. So many of the concepts we learn for online business can be transferred to an offline situation very easily and very effectively!

Your first rule about finding evergreen niches is something that I am thinking about at the moment. Do you go for one niche or many niches.

One niche is putting all your eggs in one basket but at least you can make sure that the basket is sturdy, has a good handle and is big enough to fit as many eggs as you can conceive of – i.e. you can give it the time it deserves.

Multiple niches might be less risky or less commitment but ultimately it is very easy to spread yourself too thinly and never see any worthwhile results.

I guess the solution is to outsource the many niches part and then focus on one niche that you can give your everything to.

As you eluded to in your comment, I would suggest finding a niche you have some knowledge about or are passionate about to get your business off the ground. I would say this is the best place to start and then once you are making an income you can get a team of outsourcers to spread your business into multiple niches. If you have been keeping a diary of everything you are doing then you should be able to outsource these tasks very effectively!

I personally have a few niches that I am working on at the moment as I like to spread my focus somewhat (it’s just the way I am) Once these first niches are all where I want them to be I will start to outsource into other ones.

As a fellow internet marketer, I can confirm that the aforementioned items are true, and it also takes a lot more to make it in this business. I, for example, rely on multiple programs in order for all the smaller projects to run smoothly. My latest finding is an employee monitor which takes away the stress from having your employees work from their homes, where you can’t see what they are doing during their working hours. But there are many more examples I could list, that make my work sustainable.

Employee monitors are essential for your outsourcing teams! It keeps them on task and it means you can check up on them whenever you like. No problems with them saying they have worked for 6 hours on a task when you think they have worked for 2! Everything can be shown with the right software!
